Even with the perceived confidence, my last relationship was with an abusive narcissist. I’m not a man hater/ ball buster but an equal. It’s men that expect me to be submissive. Nope not going to do it! I give men the respect they give me. Seems when I’m in a position of authority do I get the respect. Definitely not in a romantic relationship.

I remember thinking then, maybe I’m meant to live alone some day. Was in a toxic marriage and kept trudging along another 11 years.

When I did OLD, I can’t tell you how many times I’d meet in person and practically run to my car after. I’m middle aged and learned to look for hints in the background. I finally gave up. OLD is time wasted for minimal return. I’m content being single and living a full life on my terms. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/12/20 08:09 PM |

| 23 | The Fuck Off FundI didn’t realize I had a fuck off fund until I was forced twice to pull myself out of bad marriages. I was taught to never depend on a man. Wasn’t taught to not be a builder Barb . Each time I found a way to build myself back up and move forward even when I was scared of the consequences. Always always focus on your long term goals even if you can’t see the path for the smoke and mirrors. Self perseverance builds resilience. YOU CAN DO this!! 💕 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/12/20 12:11 AM |

| 8 | Narcissistic Abuse Documentary - a really educational documentary about what this kind of abuse entails and how to break free, with personal stories.This hit home and somewhat painful to watch. I am the classic example of the survivor of the psychopath narcissist. I watched because I never want to forget what I went through. I have been diagnosed with CPTSD and TBI from the abuse, my memories have moments of lapse. What I will always have, is recognizing I will never be the same trusting person I was . For that I am grateful 🙏. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/12/20 07:57 PM |
| 45 | Men "In the middle of a divorce"It’s because they CAN! Society doesn’t shame them . If a woman starts dating in the “middle of a divorce “, she’s a slut or desperate. In my case, my ex had a gf lined up in another state before divorce was finalized. She knew he wasn’t divorced and felt sorry for him. That bit her when 6 months later he moved on to someone else. Within a year of our divorce married the next woman after her. Why do they need to work on themselves when they are perfect 👌. So all in all, on 5th wife.

Basement dwellers logicI’m in my 50’s, reason 9999 of why I stopped dating. Men in my age group are older looking, act old and can’t do the physical activities I can. It’s not worth the effort. Men who actually stay in decent shape are gym rats who date 20 years younger. It’s all about their ego and I’m not interested in inflating a mans ego anymore. The above picture pretty much sums up the 45+ dating pool 🤢. It’s very slim pickings out there. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 05:32 PM |

For him to live in another state and “happened “ to see you at that specific time, already sounds like stalking. All you have to say in writing is never contact me again.

| 11 | See ladies... we are called Gold Diggers but when it’s about a man and his kids, we are unfair.I think we can all agree, cashing in home equity is a HUGE flag for disposable assets and vacations.

| 19 | See ladies... we are called Gold Diggers but when it’s about a man and his kids, we are unfair.It’s not a bad idea at all, but I’ve seen many use their home equity as a line of credit. You put your entire home at risk, not just the amount you borrowed at risk. Auto loans are around 5% right now in US for average credit. If you can’t afford a 5% auto loan, you may be in over your head. Btw- mortgage interest rates are about 2.65 % in US for a score over 700. If someone is using their HELOC for disposable assets, definitely red flag of poor money management. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/12/20 03:58 PM |

| 24 | Women and children seem to suffer the most from PTSD...The book has been life changing for me, all 16 hours of audible book lol. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/10/20 02:58 PM |
| 24 | Do you ever think back on a past relationship in disbelief at the things you went through?It pushed me to read the book, The Body Keeps Score. Strongly suggest for anyone who’s gone through or dealing with trauma. It explains a lot of how trauma rewires your brain which impacts your relationships with yourself and others. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/10/20 04:57 AM |

| 21 | Oops....Won’t lie, took me a few years to see it for what it was and heal. I see them periodically as we have grandchildren now. I’m cordial and will give her a hug as a greeting. What she doesn’t know, I incredibly grateful NOT to be the one taking care of him anymore. She thinks she won the prize, it really was the curb side trash she recycled. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/10/20 05:39 PM |
| 202 | Oops....Explains the last gift from my ex husband, 24 years of marriage and my gift was a necklace and bracelet with his best friends wife birth stone 🤣🤣🤣. Yeah, my ex married her after I divorced him and she divorced her husband. Our kids snapped a Xmas day picture me opening that gift, the look on my face immortalized forever 🤣🤣🤣. The look on my ex’s face was just as surprised as mine. Oh good times 😆. Edit: later I had the gold melted down and sold it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/10/20 05:28 AM |

| 34 | Same pal, same.I got both dogs in the divorce, today I have to warn men to keep their distance, they don’t like men ( except my son and grandsons). Is it bad I love my personal body guards lol. If I stop to talk, the 80 lb shepherd leans across my legs protecting me and the 50 lbs Aussie stands in front standing guard. I’m surrounded by love and protection. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/09/20 08:55 PM |

| 24 | 40yo women seem to be giving up on dating, 40yo men are getting extra desperate to convince them to change their minds. Can any 40+ FDSers confirm this observation?I recently attended a retirement seminar at work. Part of the presentation was the cost of poor health in retirement. I actually smiled to myself and congratulated myself on being divorced . Both ex’s had poor health habits and in their 50’s , both have high blood pressure and overweight. I live a healthy lifestyle and am still very active. Can’t see into a crystal ball of my future potential health but I’m doing what I can to stay healthy. I only have to worry about my health costs, no one else… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/09/20 01:03 AM |

| 3 | I'm tired of viewing men as the enemy.So it’s more of a yearning for a romantic connection? For me, I get emotional love from my children, grandsons and close friends. From what I’ve encountered single, men aren’t capable of giving me the same emotional love that I get from my circle. At first I missed sexual connection and the deep connection, realized I needed to make that deep connection with myself. I no longer view men as the enemy , just not where I want to put my energy any longer. I listen to my friends in relationships, unl… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/09/20 09:00 PM |
| 24 | I'm tired of viewing men as the enemy.Chiming in as a 55 yo woman, total 35 years in 2 marriages. Just stop looking and forcing. I’ve been single, living alone for 4 years now. Longest I’ve lived alone and single. I tried dating and it’s just not for me in this phase of my life. The joy I get being alone and doing what I want when I want outweighs any relationship that’s been presented so far. I’ve found myself having to give myself permission to get out and find myself. I am grateful for those relationships teaching me how awesome … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/09/20 07:56 PM |

| 3 | Literal Fear of a NVMI too was scared for a year and it slowly got better and better. I would find his brand of cigarette butts around the front yard and it would trigger me. I am a strong independent women but he scared me to my core. I suggest outside security cameras that chirp at motion , stream to your phone. Get motion lights as well. Cameras and lights are inexpensive compared to your sanity. I’m 4 years out and living my best life. The fear will go away , your high alert probably not 😢. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/20 12:41 AM |

I'm so proud of her and I'm shocked how evident her transformation really is.So was I 😞, twice. Plant the seed , no confrontation just let her read. Let the information sink in . Good luck !

I learned to love myself better than a romantic partner ever could! I will never allow another LVM in my life again. I’m 55 and now look at the trauma as a gift to redefine my life and goals.

| 34 | Pickme behaviour is an addictionI’m not going to be popular with my response. This post sounds very condescending to us in recovery. If “cold” turkey was a magic cure to any recovery then we’d all have the capacity to “just do it”. Addiction of any sort takes awareness,time , knowledge and a strong support system. To bash others especially other women seems to counter this subs intent for dating strategies. Please consider kindness and love for those of us progressing through addiction 💕. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/03/20 04:15 AM |

All gains in gender equality happened because of women like us who recognized men weren’t going to do shit unless we actively made it a problem for them.I can still read your post 👍 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/12/19 05:24 AM |

I’m a normal woman who doesn’t look my age, partly to good genes( shockingly) and taking care of myself by eating healthy. In person I can’t even tell how old a guy is because of how bad he looks.
